Praise be to Sigmar that I do not truck in the 40k universe then. My frame of refference comes from WH Fantasy where our emporers actually fight in battles instead of sit and eat the souls of psychics while making holy poop.

Well I would go for Slaanesh for the perks, but if I wanted to be on the "Winning side" it's gotta be The T man. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. He knows the enemies plans before they do. He physically cannot lose, any lost is part of his plan to win.

In the Emperors name, your evil shall be purged in the holy fire of His Divine Inquisition

Besides, I bet your poop isn't holy

Fer crying out loud, we're a high medieval/low Renn society, man! Have you seen what our diet is?! We're lucky if our poop isn't disease laden acid! Cut us some slack! The boys at Nuln are still perfecting that whole indoor plumbing thing (when they're not trying to train pigeons to fire rows of guns...).

Wrong reality, sunshine. GW made it clear that Fantasy and 40k are not in the same universes. Old World does not exist in 40k, nor the Imperium in Old World.

And Exterminatus this, Exterminatus that, SHIT, you Imperiums will burn down a planet just because an Inquisitor spilled his drink on the sidewalk. You really need to reign those guys in.

I'm aware though it would be kinda cool for the Fantasy world to be in the eye of terror since that place is screwed up enough for it to be possible.

And unfortunately the inquisition being what it is is neigh impossible to rein in since they have basically supreme authority on pretty much anything including the SPESS MEHREENS.

Not so sure about their pull on the Astartes, though. From my reading, the various Astartes chapters and their sub-cultures get away with a lot of grotesque shit and basically DARE the Inquisitors to say dick about it. The Blood Angels and their bloodletting rites being a big example.

Nurgle always sounds appealing because he's so jolly and caring, but I haaaaaaaate being sick. So, seeing how I'm already a big cauldron of simmering rage beneath a thin veneer of civility, my guess is that the Blood God fits the bill for me. Give me a big fuck-off chainsword and I'll be all like "MyroflknifegoessliceslicesliceLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"

Nurgle: a life free of disease or sickness, eternal, pleasing comfort.

Actually the followers of Nurgle are subject to Every disease, its just there in so much pain they are numbed to it.id still follow Grandfather Nurgle though, hes the only chaos god who isnt a massive dick to his followers.

Slaanesh followers get all the bitches. And the dude bitches. And the hermaphodite bitches. And the genderless bitches. We just get everything.

Give yourself over to absolute pleasureSwim the warm waters of sins of the fleshErotic nightmares beyond any measureAnd sensual daydreams to treasure foreverCan't you just see it. Whoa ho ho!Don't dream it, be it...Don't dream it, be it...

EscapeGoat:None of the above. You know why? Because none of them are truly chaotic. They all act to a predefined set of ideals and expected mannerisms. People expect Khorne to shed blood, Nurgle to spread disease, Tzeentch to cause mutations and Slaanesh to enthrall and seduce. That isn't chaos. That's order.

I follow the true God of Chaos. You may not know his name, but he was always there, and always shall be.

He is Malal. He is Malice. He is Anarchy. To follow Malal is to destroy order, even if that means turning on yourself for falling into a routine. He is the embodiment of paradox and destruction. He is True Chaos.

He is the God who causes fear in the hearts and souls of the lesser Chaos Gods. He is the Outcast God, who laughs upon the fringes of space. He is Chaos, and we are the Sons of Malice.

"...and he that went before now came last, and that which was white and black and all direction was thrown against itself. Grown mightily indignant at the words of the Gods, Malal did turn his heart against them and flee into the chambers of space . . . And no man looked to Malal then, save those that serve that which they hate, who smile upon their misfortune, and who bear no love save for the damned. At such times as a warrior's heart turns to Malal, all Gods of Chaos grow fearful, and the laughter of the Outcast God fills the tomb of space . . ."

Now, I'm seeing a lot of support for the other chaos gods, and I respect that. Nurgle's a big ol' friendly fella who gives some pretty good buffs (all that rotting flesh makes you practically invincible - plus you can never get sick again!); Tzeentch gives up all that delightful knowledge, but considering how JUST AS PLANNED he is and the insanity, it's hard to say if it's a good trade off. Slaanesh is, of course, going to give you lots of pleasure - but say goodbye to anything vanilla, as only the most maddening things will make you happy after awhile.

No, there's only one Chaos god for me. The most cheerful, energetic and enthusiastic god in the whole Chaos pantheon. Khorne.

And, with a war cry like this:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! LET THE GALAXY BURN!!!!

What I found really intriguing about Tzeentch was how it had power over almost all happenings in the universe, from the smallest plots and events to the most awesome and impacting happenings. It has an agenda, while mysterious, might not necessarily be of ill-intent. It wants to keep things from stagnating, to ensure that all that is is kept changing so that diversity might be maintained. Which could be argued for being a good cause.

OP you have framed the results by giving bad descriptions of the chaos gods!. They make Tzeentch sound too appealing and powerful compared to the others which is not true! Also, Slaneesh is the god of pain, not just pleasure. Still cool poll but don't frame it BRO

Really, I couldn't pick any of those offered without feeling like an utter tool. Nurgle stinks, Slaneesh is a whore, Tzeentch is a filthy liar... yeah, come to think of it, your choice only contains one valid option. The only 'honest' deity here would be Khorne. Yeah, since there's no other option offered, I'll go with Khorne. Don't really like the guy, though.

There must be a reason you omitted Malal, which would probably be the purest incarnation of chaos.

Zeke63:OP you have framed the results by giving bad descriptions of the chaos gods!. They make Tzeentch sound too appealing and powerful compared to the others which is not true! Also, Slaneesh is the god of pain, not just pleasure. Still cool poll but don't frame it BRO

Vanish from here, loyalist scum!

I tried to make the offerings equally desirable. The Nurgle one might be a bit exaggerated, but not so far from the truth. He doesn't offer any power or pleasure. I could have also written down the cost for each, but who'd want to serve any of them then? When you serve Tzeentch, you get limitless knowledge, but don't get nearly any physical perks and ultimately end up either as a soulless, mindless pawn in his great scheme or mutated beyond recognition and sanity.
